I haven't built one but have benefited from the work done by others.
Two years ago up on Ossa the SES were doing training which included building the "igloo type". They referred to it as a Snow Dome. We were planning to stay up there the day they were coming down, so we thought we'd utilise it. I believe they put many hours work into it. It was very solid and could support all 8 of them standing ontop of it. It slept the 3 of us quite nicely. They are not warm like i had heard previously. They are however eerily quiet. All wind/weather noise is eliminated. Its probably not a bad idea to have a ground sheet for the floor just to avoid slight dampness. Anyway, we enjoyed the experience thorougly. Would of been even better if we hadn't left the gas cannisters down at Pelion. A winters night at the roof of the state in an ice box with no hot dinner or hot drinks. Doh!
